Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Yan Canghai’s reluctance to return to the village

“Dad has broken through to the Xiantian realm?”

Wei Zi’an exclaimed in surprise upon sensing this aura.

Everyone immediately rushed to the backyard, arriving at Wei Xinghe’s retreat.

Here, the vital energy of heaven and earth converged, the laws of heaven and earth materialized, and the powerful aura of the Xiantian realm emanated waves of energy.

This was the sign of a warrior breaking through to the Xiantian realm.

Simultaneously, the other martial arts masters in the city also sensed the aura of Wei Xinghe’s breakthrough.

Their faces lit up with astonishment.

“Is this aura the Wei family patriarch finally breaking through, about to enter the Xiantian realm?”

“I believe so. Wei Xinghe has been stuck at the Grandmaster level for over a decade, so it’s about time he breaks through.”

“Another Xiantian realm master! Two in one family! This Wei family is becoming even more formidable.”

“We can’t afford to provoke them anyway. Did you just ignore the Wei family ancestor before?”

“Let’s take a good look at this aura. A breakthrough to the Xiantian realm is extremely rare.

If we can comprehend even a little of this secret, perhaps we can reach even greater heights in our cultivation.”

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

The handsome City Lord, Yan Canghai, gazed in the direction of the Wei family, a bit stunned.

“Wei Xinghe also broke through?”

“Two years ago, I watched the Xiantian battle between that old doctor and Wang Cangyi. I was inspired and eventually reached the realm of martial arts master.

But now, two years have passed, and I still haven’t condensed my soul power.

I haven’t seen even a glimpse of a breakthrough to the Xiantian realm.

But Wei Xinghe, on the other hand, has already broken through the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, drawn Qi into his body, and achieved the Xiantian realm.

I have the support of the royal family, ample resources and techniques, and I’m confident that my talent is no less than others.

But why is my cultivation always so difficult?”

Yan Canghai’s eyes were filled with resentment.

Ever since he reached perfection in the post-natal realm two years ago and became a martial arts master

, he had changed his casual personality and practiced diligently, even rarely drinking alcohol.

But in return, two years had passed, and his cultivation hadn’t improved at all.

Aside from a more refined grasp of his own strength,

he had no idea what to do with the mysterious power of the soul.

There wasn’t even a hint of condensation.

Now, seeing fellow martial arts master Wei Xinghe, capable of triggering fluctuations in vital energy, drawing it into his body and achieving innate strength,

how could he not be intimidated?

“Perhaps, I should seek another path.”

A sudden determination crossed Yan Canghai’s face.

Not long ago, he received a report from the city gate guards stating that the young master of the Wei family had returned from his travels with his master, Ma Gu.

They also arrived in a massive carriage, pulled by two exceptional beasts.

“Given Wei Zi’an and Ma Gu’s limited cultivation, the Wei family would surely be wary of letting them travel freely. Those

in that carriage are probably the same two.”

Yan Canghai’s mind flashed to Lu Qing’s face, along with the advice of his former friend, Lin Zhirui.

After some thought, he decided to try his luck.

“Zi’an, Master Ma, you could sense the aura of the Wei family’s breakthrough. It would be beneficial to your cultivation,”

Lu Qing said in the backyard of the Wei Mansion.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, entering a state of meditation, carefully sensing the undulating vibrations of heaven and earth coming from ahead.

Even Hu Zezhi closed her eyes and carefully attempted to perceive them.

As time passed, the fluctuations of vital energy ahead grew stronger.

“Xinghe is about to condense his innate body.” Wei Shanhai

had just finished speaking when suddenly, the condensing vital energy of heaven and earth ahead began to rapidly surge toward a specific point.

Wei Xinghe’s aura also rose rapidly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Xinghe’s aura reached a peak and stabilized.

“Success!”

Wei Shanhai’s face lit up with joy.

The successful condensation of the innate body meant that Wei Xinghe had officially entered the innate realm, becoming a powerful innate realm master.

From then on, the Wei family had two innate realm masters.

In this era of turbulent times, this was a bit of a guarantee.

Just as Wei Xinghe successfully condensed his innate body and officially entered the innate realm,

a few more soft sounds were heard.

Ma Gu, Wei Zi’an, and Hu Zezhi all experienced a surge of energy.

Surprisingly, they all broke through at the same time.

Ma Gu reached the Minor Success stage of the Internal Organs Realm, while Wei Zi’an reached the Perfection stage of the Bones and Muscles Realm.

As for Hu Zezhi, originally only at the Qi and Blood Realm, she had officially entered the Bones and Muscles Realm.

Seeing this, Lu Qing smiled.

After these days of adaptation, most of the primordial energy within Ma Gu and the others had already merged with their bodies.

The three’s aptitude had also been greatly enhanced.

Now, stimulated by the fluctuations in the laws of heaven and earth caused by Wei Xinghe’s entry into the Xiantian Realm, a breakthrough was a natural outcome.

Wei Shanhai, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised to see the three break through.

Previously, because Ma Gu and the others wore jade talismans engraved by Lu Qing, Wei Shanhai couldn’t clearly sense their specific cultivation levels.

Furthermore, his attention was focused on Lu Qing and the old doctor, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Now, seeing Ma Gu and the others’ breakthroughs, he suddenly realized that in just a few months, Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an’s cultivation had advanced significantly.

The speed of their progress was even somewhat astonishing.

“It seems that Young Master Lu and his companions’ journey to Zhongzhou is far more than Zi’an had previously claimed,”

Wei Xinghe thought to himself.

He was well aware of Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an’s talents.

Under normal circumstances, even if they were given a few more years, they wouldn’t have achieved this level of advancement.

Their current cultivation speed rivaled that of geniuses; there had to be another reason.

Boom!

Just as Wei Shanhai was astonished, the stone door to Wei Xinghe’s retreat ahead slowly opened.

A figure emerged, full of vigor and energy.

Who else could it be but Wei Xinghe?

“Husband!”

Madam Wei greeted him excitedly.

“Haha, why is Madam here?”

Wei Xinghe was very happy at this moment, and he was even happier to see his beloved wife.

“Yes, I have finally entered the Xiantian Realm.”

Wei Shanhai nodded with satisfaction.

“Thank you, old ancestor, for coming to protect me.”

The moment Wei Xinghe condensed his Xiantian body and officially entered the Xiantian Realm, he sensed the aura of his ancestor.

After all, the Xiantian Realm contains special Xiantian connotations, and as long as they are not too far apart, they can easily sense each other.

“Congratulations, Master Wei, for successfully entering the Xiantian Realm.”

At this time, Lu Qing also walked up and said with a smile.

“Young Master Lu, Doctor Chen, why are you here too?”

Wei Xinghe only noticed Lu Qing and the old doctor at this time, and could not help but be surprised.

Because just now in the secret room, he did not sense the presence of Lu Qing and the others.

“We returned this morning, but since Master Wei was in seclusion, we didn’t disturb him,” Lu Qing explained.

Wei Xinghe stared at Lu Qing in astonishment.

He realized that even now, with Lu Qing standing before him, he couldn’t detect his presence.

If he hadn’t seen Lu Qing with his own eyes, he would have thought he was just a mass of air.

This strange situation suddenly made Wei Xinghe realize that even though he was now a powerful Xiantian Realm expert, he

was still very immature in front of Lu Qing and the old doctor, unable to discern their true strengths.

Wei Xinghe’s initial sense of elation, initially due to his breakthrough, suddenly subsided.

He understood that the world was vast, and there were many powerful beings, many more powerful than him.

He had only just reached the Xiantian Realm, and was far from being arrogant.

Wei Shanhai, standing nearby, saw the look on Wei Xinghe’s face and nodded with a hint of satisfaction.

He hadn’t warned Wei Xinghe because he wanted to remind him that there are always people better than you.

Reaching the Xiantian realm is merely the threshold to becoming a truly powerful being.

If one becomes complacent, they will suffer greatly in the future.

“Dad!”

At this moment, Wei Zi’an, who had already achieved a breakthrough, leaped up from the ground.

“Zi’an’s back too,”

Wei Xinghe said with relief at seeing his younger son, now much stronger.

“Dad, thanks to your breakthrough in Qi, my master and I have also achieved a breakthrough,”

Wei Zi’an said happily.

“Really? That’s great! It seems you’ve been diligent and not slacking off on this training trip with Lu Xiaolang and the others.” Wei Xinghe nodded.

His mind was shaken by Lu Qing, and he hadn’t fully recovered, so he didn’t notice anything unusual about his son.

Wei Xinghe’s breakthrough naturally caused jubilation throughout the Wei Mansion.

The other major forces in the city also sent gifts to congratulate the Wei patriarch on his achievement of the Xiantian realm.

For a moment, the entire Wei Mansion was abuzz with excitement.

Amidst this excitement, Lu Qing and the old doctor slowly made their way out of the county.

“Miss Hu, it’s actually better for you and Uncle Hu to stay in the county town. There’s no need to follow us.

Jiuli Village is remote, a poor mountain village. I’m afraid you and Uncle Hu won’t be able to adapt,”

Lu Qing said to the carriage behind him as he steered the carriage.

Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an both lived in the city, and staying there for a few days would be difficult for them to handle. So Lu Qing had to drive the carriage himself.

He had originally wanted the Wei family to arrange a place for Hu Zezhi and her daughter to stay in the city.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zezhi declined, hoping to leave with Lu Qing and the others.

“The county town is nice, but my father and I are unfamiliar with the place, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to adapt.

Don’t worry, Master Lu. Zezhi grew up in poverty and is not immune to hardship,”

Hu Zezhi said softly.

She was actually very curious about the village where Master Lu and Xiaoyan lived,

eager to see what kind of village could nurture a talent like Lu Qing.

Of course, there were some deep, girlish thoughts she couldn’t reveal to outsiders.

As for Hu Lao San, he certainly wouldn’t object.

After witnessing the miraculous abilities of Lu Qing and the old doctor,

even a fool could tell how rare it was to be able to follow them.

Seeing Hu Zezhi’s words, Lu Qing naturally couldn’t persuade him any further.

Jiuli Village wasn’t too far from the county town, after all.

If Hu Zezhi and the others really couldn’t get used to living there, it would be easy to leave.

“Brother, Xiao Li has been sleeping for so long, why hasn’t he woken up yet?”

Xiao Yan’s worried voice echoed from the carriage.

“I’ve checked, Xiao Li’s body is undergoing a transformation.

Don’t worry, he’s fine. He should be awake in a few days,”

Lu Qing reassured him.

Ever since absorbing a stream of primordial energy in the Holy City, Xiao Li had been in a deep sleep.

Even during their journey, he hadn’t woken up.

Every day, Lu Qing would use his supernatural powers to check on Xiao Li’s situation and found that it was in the middle of an extremely important transformation.

And there was nothing wrong with its physical condition.

So he did not interfere with it and force it to wake up.

Instead, he was looking forward to it. When Xiao Li finished his transformation and woke up, he wondered what kind of changes would happen.

The speed of the Wind-Controlling Carriage was extremely fast.

Even if Lu Qing did not deliberately speed up, it would not be long before Jiuli Village was already in sight.

Looking at the familiar scenery on both sides, Lu Qing could not help but turn off the formation on the car and slow down the speed of the carriage.

“Brother, are we almost there?”

Xiao Yan felt the carriage slowing down and asked.

“Yes, we are almost home.”

Xiao Yan immediately lifted the curtain of the front compartment and stuck her little head out.

Then she saw the familiar scenery outside, especially the familiar river outside the village.

Her eyes widened immediately: “Really, Grandpa Chen, we are going back to the village!”

The old doctor also looked out the window at the scenery outside.

He too felt a sense of nostalgia.

Although their trip wasn’t too long, only a few months,

quite a lot had happened along the way .

So now that they were almost back to the village, he felt quite emotional.

The carriage moved slowly, and Lu Qing slowly admired the scenery he hadn’t seen for months.

At the same time, he was also sensing the changes in the surrounding world.

He found that after several months, the spiritual energy in Jiuli Village was indeed much richer, just as Wei Shanhai had said.

Although it couldn’t compare to Zhongzhou,

it was more than enough to satisfy his and his master’s daily cultivation.

After all, he and his master were still only at the Qi Refining Stage.

Moreover, as time went on, the spiritual energy would become increasingly richer.

It wouldn’t affect his and his master’s cultivation.

The carriage rumbled all the way to the entrance of Jiuli Village.

Such a noticeable movement naturally alerted the villagers.

Immediately, some villagers came out to investigate.

When some villagers saw the two tall and handsome dragon-blood horses in front of the carriage and felt the majestic aura emanating from them from afar, their legs couldn’t help but tremble.

At the same time, their hearts were beating even more nervously. The

person who could control such a beast carriage must not be an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, due to the perspective and the obstruction of the horses, he couldn’t see what the driver looked like for a while.

Just when the villagers were thinking about whether to go to the Wei family’s villa to inform the news.

Suddenly, a small figure jumped down from the carriage.

He ran towards the village with his arms open.

He shouted happily: “Uncle Zhang, Xiaoyan is back!”

“It’s Xiaoyan!”

The villager’s eyes widened instantly.
